Overview

With its National Strategy to Combat Poverty and Social Exclusion, under the theme, “The Will to Act, The Strength to Succeed”, the Québec government intends to progressively transform Québec, over a ten-year period, into one of the industrialized societies with the least poverty.

The main concern of the Québec government is to improve the living conditions of the poorest members of our society, to promote their self-sufficiency , and to build a better Québec in which every person has their rightful place, can live with dignity, can take an active part in society and contribute to its development to the extent of his or her abilities.

The National Strategy to Combat Poverty and Social Exclusion is part of the government’s ongoing efforts since 1994 to eliminate poverty as part of a broader approach aimed at the social development of Québec as a whole.
